"You said that you are just a little hairy child in your early tens, what can you do if you stay in the capital now? It is nothing more than to set up a bright target for others. What Xiao Yan said is right, as long as you are not in the capital, then no one will continue to chase Zhongshan Wangfu. The old beggar Wu Chengfeng followed Shen Gui and nagged all the way, but Shen Gui still didn't say a word, and walked forward with his head bowed angrily.

"What do you think Lin Siwei asked you to follow me for? In addition to allowing you to learn some means of self-preservation, the main thing is that you don't want to be in the circle of right and wrong in the capital. If it weren't for her arrangement, the old man and I would have traveled all over the world all my life as my home, how could I stay in Fengjing for so long. You, you, it's better to take advantage of the fact that you're still young now, and it's the right way to learn more skills. ”

Shen Gui stopped his steps, looked back at Wu Chengfeng, and his tone was full of suppressed anger: "Do you know that Yan Qinghong and Yan Fujiu are such reliable people?" These two are surnamed Yan! Entrusting my Zhongshan Mansion to them, isn't this letting the weasel watch the chicken coop? You can figure it out. ”

"Hey!" After listening to Shen Gui's words, the old beggar sat on the stone by the official road. It was already noon, and the sun was dappling the willow that had begun to bud on the trees beside the road.

"I'll tell you. This time, as soon as you enter Beijing with your front foot, your uncle Guo Shuang with your back foot has already entered a certain death game. The most critical point here is the identity of your biological father. Don't look at me, I really don't know about this. I know this thing, or Lin Siwei's girl told me. ”

Shen Gui also felt a little tired, and after listening to the words of the old beggar Wu Chengfeng, he felt curious, so he stopped and sat on the side of the road.

"To put it simply, the Taibai guards in the past were only nominally controlled by the Guo family alone. But first, for the Heavenly Family, since Taibaiwei can be the last guarantee, it can also be the chaotic army besieging the city at any time. Second, when you didn't enter Beijing, Taibaiwei's food, grass, ordnance, and salaries had to be dispatched by Prime Minister Li Deng, so that the Son of Heaven could consciously have some restraint on Taibaiwei, and he barely had a sense of balance to comfort himself. ”

"Then why did my uncle Guo Shuang die as soon as I entered Beijing?"

Shen Gui listened carefully, and his brain was running rapidly.

"I said that the key point is your biological father, and I don't know much about this aspect. However, since the focus of breaking the balance is silver, then in my opinion, Guo Shuang's death must be related to silver. ”

Shen Gui touched himself, and as if he remembered something, he reached out and tugged at the old beggar's sleeve:

"Is it because they know that I have a seal of the Huayan Merchant Gang on me? That's why Emperor Xuande thought that as long as I returned to Beijing, the grain and grass salaries of the Taibai Guards would no longer be controlled by anyone? That makes sense......"

The old beggar stretched out his hand and took out the seal in his arms, played with it left and right, and said in a disdainful tone:

"Do you really think that all the silver that comes out of this seal fell from the sky? Although I don't know the reason why Hua Yanshang helped you pay the silver. But everyone knows one truth, that money needs to be earned, and no matter who it is, it is not easy to support a forbidden army. Not to mention that your authority to withdraw the money is still in the hands of someone else. I look at this seal, although it looks good, but in fact, it is the elder of your family who wants to use this way to give you some scattered silver flowers, and save you from starving. Although Emperor Xuande is just a mediocre talent, he is best at these things of money exchange. After all, her mother is the eldest lady of the Dongyou Li family, and she came with an abacus when she was born. You're wrong from the beginning. ”

Shen Gui also nodded after listening, after all, when he took the silver in Huinan Qianzhuang, he was also half persuaded and half stopped by the shopkeeper Luo Fengqi. From this point of view, this Huinan Qianzhuang is afraid that it is related to the identity of his biological father

"Okay, I'm not going to ask any more about that. Let's talk about Yan Qinghong and Yan Fujiu, why do you want me to ask them before leaving? ”

"Because in this way, Guo Yunsong and Brother Guo can at least save their lives, and the three of you can take what you need. Don't look at your Zhongshan Palace, which is currently in crisis, but everything in this world has both positive and negative sides. Crises and opportunities have always been mutually reinforcing. At present, the Youbei Yan clan has reigned for three generations, and the situation is becoming more and more stable. Because of this, one of them is the little king of Qi who is the heart of the army, and the other is the second prince who is wrong when he is alive. These two children are smart people, so they have long begun to tarnish their identities, but Shuda will eventually attract wind. Even if they don't fight or grab the prodigal wreckage, in the eyes of some people, they still want to get rid of it quickly. All because once the situation is fully stabilized, the two of them will become frogs in warm water and be boiled alive before they know it. You need them to protect the Zhongshan Palace, which has lost power, and they also need you as a variable to find a chance to break the game. ”

Shen Gui nodded and lay directly in the dirt. With his right hand, he pulled down a piece of grass from his side and played with it back and forth in his mouth, chewed a few bites, and spat it on the side of the road:

"If you're hungry, let's find something to eat first, and then find a place to rest. I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to go anymore. ”

The old beggar looked at him and stretched out his hand above his vein.

"What are you doing, old man!" Shen Gui, who was pinched and hurt, sat up all of a sudden, with an irritable face.

"Strange, don't you say that you are Li Xuanyu's earth spirit vein? You let such a god-man go up and pray for the spirit, what is so extraordinary? To tell you the truth, I've been thinking about this for a while, your child's bone meridians are very ordinary, although they are a little clever, but they haven't reached the level of heavenly spirit empowerment. What's so special about you, come and tell Master, don't delay your Earth Spirit Vein talent. ”

Shen Gui shook his arm and rubbed his right wrist vigorously.

"Who told you that I was from the Earth Spirit Leyline? The matter between me and the great shaman Li Xuanyu, when you ask her yourself in a few years, I still wonder what to do. As for what makes me special, with your wisdom, it's useless to tell you. ”

"In other words, you can't be literate, and you don't have any special talents? Have you learned the rejuvenation of Lin Siwei? It's okay to be a man in the future. ”

"No, nothing."

Shen Gui was angry and annoyed when he was asked, and he was able to hang a lot of lanterns with his mouth.

"Then as soon as you say that, you will understand as a teacher. Starting today, you can practice some ordinary martial arts with me to defend yourself. ”

"If you practice martial arts, you can practice martial arts, so tell me what you know first? I'll pick a few things I like to practice. But I have to say it first, I don't practice heavy weapons. I can't be wrong when I grow up, if you teach a hammer or a plate axe, then I might as well be a scholar, so this sword that presses the book, it looks more delicate. ”

"A journey of a thousand miles also starts with a single step, and you still don't know how to do bullshit. Regardless of the sledgehammer and plate axe, it must be practiced by people who are born with divine powers. You're just an ordinary person, so you have to lay the foundation for everything you learn. ”

Shen Gui really couldn't listen to the old beggar's disgusting tone towards him, and hurriedly folded his hands to make a confession:

"My good master, can you say a few words? I know that my muscles and bones are very poor, my qualifications are ordinary, and I don't have any special inheritance of heaven and earth spiritual veins, which is very disappointing to you. But I don't want that. At the moment, whether it is to fulfill Granny Lin's entrustment, or to prevent your Wu Chengfeng's prestige from being disgraced, it is better to teach a little casually, let's make do with each other. ”

The old beggar nodded when he heard this, and sighed again:

"Let's go, while it's still early, and hurry up a little more. As for what I can teach you, let me think about it again. ”

In this way, an old man and a young beggar walked along the official road at the north gate of Fengjing in the northeast direction. Now is the season of revival, and the scenery along the way is full of life. Most of the men in the village are still sowing seeds in the fields, and the aunts and aunts of the family will always take out some food to entertain the two when they see the old and the young. Therefore, although there are inevitably some food and drink dew along the way, it is also smooth and peaceful.

On this day, the two stood at the destination of the trip, the entrance of a small village at the junction of the Zhongshan Road in Youbei and the Tatar steppe. The terrain here is steep and quiet, the north is Botu Mountain, the west is the lonely horse mountain, the terrain of two mountains and a ditch, so it is named Shuangshan Village, there are only 100 households in the village, and most of them are female dependents, children and the elderly. Even the tax governor hadn't seen it in this village for years, and it was a forgotten village.

Shen Gui and the old beggar stood at the entrance of Shuangshan Village with a wooden stick, but they saw a bare-bottomed little boy squatting not far away, holding a branch in his hand and teasing a little black dog. The old beggar looked at it carefully, put his hand to his mouth, and shouted:

"Child, who are the adults in the village? Help Grandpa call your village elder bag over. Let's just say that the old beggar Wu has come back with the wind. ”

The bare-bottomed doll stood up, looked blankly at this side, threw the branch in his hand, opened his dirty little hands, and did not move, nor spoke. Looking away from home, I still feel that this child is stunned, and I don't know what he is waiting for.

The old beggar smiled, and out of nowhere, he found a piece of melted sugar, and threw it away. When the little doll saw the old beggar's movements, her eyes narrowed, her right foot kicked the ground hard, and her small body flew into the air to draw a very high arc, and she turned three heels in mid-air, and her body landed smoothly without shaking or shaking, and her mouth kept moving. It seemed that the dirty candy cube was thrown into his mouth as soon as he caught it in mid-air.

"Okay, right? If you eat too much sugar, you will make trouble with insects in your teeth. The old beggar came forward and touched the child's head lovingly: "Go, go and help grandpa call the village elder bag out." The boy turned and ran away, and in the blink of an eye he was gone.

"Look at this kid, if you fart at the entrance of the village, you can smell it at the end of the village, can you still run like this in such a big slap village." The old beggar turned around while laughing, but saw a stunned Shen Gui.

"As for it? This kid is to hurry up with his legs and feet, you grew up beside the big shaman since you were a child, how can you be shocked by such a little foot strength to become such a virtuous person? The old beggar asked Shen Gui in confusion.

"This ...... Dot...... Foot...... Force? Shen Gui gritted his teeth and repeated the old beggar's words word by word.

"Don't grit your teeth so much, it's not a big deal. It's okay to practice this thing for a few years. If you want to talk about this method of stepping lightly on the rivers and lakes, it is higher than jumping, and you have to let the Xuanyue Dao Palace go to it. ”

"What about the body?"

"That must be someone else's bird. If a thief runs slowly, how many beatings he will take? You said that you are also a person who has seen the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, how can you still be so ignorant? ”

Shen Gui thought about it, and said to the old beggar in a serious way:

"Master, I don't know if you can understand that. I really haven't seen the great shaman Li Xuanyu's heavenly spirit veins, because by the time I came to my senses, she was dead. I've only heard others tell me how she is a god, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes; I have seen the rejuvenation of the successor great shaman Lin Si Niang Lin, but I can't come to her and I can't figure it out. But I can understand and figure out the hand of this kid just now, but I can't do it. That's what I can't accept the most. ”

The old beggar nodded and patted Shen Gui's shoulder:

"Don't be surprised, don't be unacceptable. After you live in this village for a while, you will naturally be able to come here. ”

At this time, a thin old man in straw sandals and cloth came running from a distance, looking like he was about seventy years old. The old man ran in the direction of the entrance of the village, and shouted loudly at the two of them:

"Master, Master, you are finally back, and it is so hard for you to think about it."

Shen Gui sneered and was happy, pointed to this old man and asked Wu Chengfeng:

"This is my senior brother? What did you teach him? Health and wellness? ”
